It ia suggested, bßweVer, as a mere’ probability. TVe do not know nor care what the puri>ose of the State may have been. But one t’::ng we do know—and that is enough—that the board of directors had no right to substitute tboir will lor the plain requirement of the law. If tho fair interests of the stockholders—if the accom modation of the neighboring people—if a due re gard for the commerce of tho whole country—-if a magnanimous liberality to the citizens of ad joining States —if these considerations, or any one of them, required an amendment of the char ter, tbe managers should have asked tho proper authority of the government to make it. Assur edly there is no legislative body on the face of tbe earth to whom such an appeal, if well grounded, oonld be made with more certainty of success, than to tbe General Assembly of ibis State. 11. Tho right of tbe supreme legislative power to authorise the building of a railroad on a street or public highway, is not now to be doubt ed. It bas been settled not only in England, (1 Bam. & Ad.i 30) but in Massachusetts, (23 Pick, 328) New York, (7 Barb, 500) and in Pennsyl vania (6 Wharton, 43). If such conversion of a public street to purposes for which it was not originally designed, docs operate severely upon a portion of the pdbplo, the injury must be born for the sake of the far greater good which results to tbe public from tbe cheap, easy and rapid con. veyance of persons and property by railway. The commerce of a nation must not be stopped or impeded for the convenience of a neighbor hood. But we can say this only in cases where the authority has been giveu by tbe sovereign power of the State. . That any private individual or incorporated company, notempowered to do so by an act of the legislature, can take possession of a street and make, a railroad upon it without being guilty of a criminal offence, is a proposi tion which I am sure no lawyer would dream ot making. The right of a company, therefore, to build a railroad on the street of a city, depends, like the lawfulness of all its other acts, upon the terms of its charter. Of course, when tbe pow er is given in express words, there can be no dis pute about it. It may also be given by implica tion ; for instance, if a company be authorised to make & railroad, by a straight line, between two designated points, this implies tbe right to run upon, along, or across, all the streets or roads which lie in the course of snch line. So also when an act of incorporation directs a road to be made between certain termini, by snch route as the grantees of the privilege shall think best, it may be located on an intervening street or other common highway, if in the judgment of the di rectors it be necessary or expedient to do so. But when an act of incorporation authorises the making oT a railroad which it is not possible to rqake without using the streets of a town for part of it, still snch streets can not be so used if the same act of incorporation forbids it. If the powers given to the corporators cannot be execu ted without disregarding the restrictions with which they are coupled, they cannot be executed at all. In a private deed, an exception as large as the grant, is void because private deeds are construed most strongly against the grantor. But a grant of privileges by the. State, to a body of adventurers, must bo construed precisely the other way—in favor of tbe public and against the gianteea. A prohibition, exception or reserva tion in a charter, must therefore stand in fall force, though it destroy or make nugatory all tbe powers given to the company. The act of incorporation, now before ns, con tains the following very emphatic clause: “ The said railroad shall be so constructed as not to ob struct or impede the free use of any public rood, street, lane or bridge , now laid out, opened or built, or to interfere with any burial ground, dwelling bouse or building without the consent of the owner.” It would certainly strike most men upon the first look, that a railroad company with such a provision in its charter, is on danger ous ground when it takes possession of a street. It is not at all easy to understand how the people of a city can have the use. ot a street free from obstructions and impediments, when the streef is of ordinary width, and has two railroad tracks upon it, along which locomotive caging, with trains of cars, are running every five minutes of the day. Nor is it by any means impossible, that in this case the legislature intended to exclude the company altogether from the streets, even at the risk of having no railroad made; for the desire to preserve to the people of Erie and its neigh borhood, the free use of tbeir streets and roads, may have been stronger than the wish to’estab lish a railway communication for them with New York. An obstruction is any thing set in the tr ay, whether it totally closes the passage or only hin ders and retards progress. A road may be ob structed more or less. The word impediment is almost synonymous with obstruction, except that it is seldom, if ever, used to signify an -entire blocking np of the way. It is an obstacle—not an impassable barrier. To understand these word* in their ordinary import, and then say that a rail road is not per se an obstruction or impediments the free use of a street, by the public, is rather more than I can do. But perhaps it is not quite safe to interpret them according to their popular sense. Certain it is that they have sometimes been otherwise used in acts of Assembly. A law of Massachusetts provides, that “ if any railroad sbalt be so laid ont as to cross any turnpike 01- other way, it shall be so made as not to obstruct such turnpike or way.” It was decided (23 Pick., 226,) that this did not prevent all interference with the road, but required only that it should cause the least possible inconvenience or impedi ment. By a statute of this State, in 1803, the owners of lands adjoining navigable streams were permitted to build dams, provided that such dams should “ not obstruct or impede the .naviga tion of such streams, or prevent the fish from passing up the same.” This Court (4 Watts, 440.) declared, that if these words were taken literally, the owners could not avail themselves of tin: privilege at all; but as this construction would have been contrary to the grant itself, a more liberal one was adopted, and a dam which did not mate rially hinder tbe navigation was held not to be within tbe prohibition.' Although the reasoning of these cases does not altogether fit tbe one bo fore us, they are entitled to much weight. They are decisive, indeed, of one thing, which is im i portaot, namely : that tbe words in question may sometimes have a legal signification differentfrom that which we would otherwise have beeu dispos ed to assign them. For the sake of consistency, we must follow in the steps of those who wont before us, though it be true that the track is not very clearly marked. Letit then be conceded as a possible thing, that a railroad can be so constructed on a public street that it will not be an obstruction to its free use—that such railroad is not in any sense a nui sance perse—that a street may be occupied in com mon by a railroad and the public witboutany such inconvenience to tbe latter as will amount to an impediment, or abridge tbe freedom of its use for ordinary purposes—still it is not true (as the convene of tbe argument would make it) that the street is unobstructed as long as travel upon it is not entirely prevented. If it be proved that a man may squeeze himself along beside the track,-or dodge across at tbe peril of his life, it does not follow that the use of the street is free, unobstructed, and unimpeded. We hold, there fore, that under a charter like this, a railroad cannot be built on a street Id such a manner as to cause any material obstruction. If we assume, as we do, that the clause under consideration does not entirely forbid the company.from going on any street, we must also allowtbem to create such impediments as cannot be avoided. But thoso which are not absolutely necessary to tbe making and using of tbe railroad, are unlawful; for man agers are bound to leave the street as nearly free from obstructions as they can, and for that ]£tr pose to spare no reasonable expenditure of money or labor. If, tor instance, tbe railroad bo made above the level ol the street, they must grade the rest of tbe street also, if that wiU make it better for the public accommodation. They cannot say to the city authorities : We have destroyed your street, and impassable; but we have not impeded its free use, because you can restore It again to a tolerable condition, at your own ex pense. Neither does it make any difFcrenco whether it be a main thoroughfare or on unimpor tant by-street, for this act of incorporation pro tects all alike. We have attentively considered the bill, answer, and evidence in the cause, and they sat isfy ps of the following pacts : ( 1.) A considerable one ®fr within the present limits of Erie city is occupied almost entirely by the rail road in a manner which makes any considerable use of it for other pnrposes almost impossible • and this is true, although the defendants them selves say that the street might be safely and conveniently used if it were properly graded a duty which they left unperformed. (2.) Two streets are crossed by the railroad on bridges, which are too low and too narrow for the largo wagons passiog one another, or for a single wagon with a bulky load. (3.) Two other streets are crossed on an embankment, consider ably above grade, with a ditch on eacbusido, and thus all passage along those streets, by any kind of vehicle, is as completely stopped as it could bo by a stone wall twenty feet high. All these things are illegal, for the reasons given. That some of these streets are on low, wet ground, I and little used, might be a sort of apology forftbe defendants, if wc were sitting hero to takeox coses for the violation of the law. But that rm J part of our duty. “ nol A large part of the evidence refers to the dan ger encountered by persons obliged to cross the railroad when trains were approaching, apd tho delay and inconvenience caused by cars, which totally blocked up the crossing places. If the defendatats have aright to make the road on a street, they have also the right to use it when made. They may .cany all the freight and pas sengers they can get If the number of cars and ; 4 .t. t • 44.•.'r .

If tbo cara ore suffered to stand for an unnecessary length of time, at places in convenient to the public, the act Is indictable os a nuisance, and for any wont of proper care, the defendants ora liable in damages to the persons fiflured- by it. be said that they have violated tbeir charter in causing obstruc tions of this kind, unless such obstructions could have been prevented or diminished by a different construction of the road. Under other circumstances, the voluminous body of evidence laid before us might require a much more extended discussion. But we are content with the compendious reference we have made to it, because every inch of this railroad which lies upon any street of the city i 9 unlawful, at all events. If the defendants had begun their .railroad at the place designated in theiract of in corporation, they would not have interfered with any of the streets mentioned in the bill, except Ash Lane, and that would have been crossed at a different place. When u railroad authorised to be made at one place is made at another, it is a mere nuraance*- on every highway it touches in its illegal course. The streets in question, not being on any route-which the defendants were au thorised to take, thoy are on them in disobedi ence of their charter, and all they have done there is without the shadow of authority. It is useless, therefore, to enquire how much of the inconvenience complained of might have been avoided by a better construction. It is enough to, say that the railroad has no busines at all to be where it is. ‘ r It appears that the city authorities gave their consent to the use of the streets, and to the loca tion of the railroad on the ground'which it now occupies. This privilege was £iven “so far as the Mayor aud Councils have legal power in the premises,” upon condition that the should cause the least possible obstruction to the ordiuary travel and business of the streets, and with a reservation of the right to withdraw the privilege whenever it should appear to the Coun cils to be injurious to the interest and welfare of the city. The condition was broken, and the privilege was revoked. But if the resolution of the Councils had remained in full force up to this time, it would have been of no avail here. They had no “legal power in the premises.” An act of the legislature cannot be repealed or modified by the ordinance of a city corporation. What the defendants did in disregard of the law was no less ao offence against the rights of the public, because the city was in some sort particeps ertminis. If both had persisted in it. the Com monwealth’s duty would have required her to see that the rights of her citizens were vindicated against both. 111. It is alleged and proved, and not denied, that the railroad has been laid down on and along a public road, .colled the Buffalo rood, in'such a way, that for some distance it cannot be, and is not used by the public at all, but on the contrary’, that jfJbrtion of the people who would otherwise travel thereon are obliged to take another way, which the railroad company has opened for them. Of course, this is within the prohibition against obstructions and impediments to the free use of public highways. ? The answer to this charge is not based on any interpretation which the charter is thought to be capablo of. Other grounds are taken. One defence is, that the railroad could □ot be made in a straight lino without taking a part of the Buffalo road. We can only say, that if a railroad cannot be made straight without violating the law, it must be made crooked, or not made at all. Equally baseless (even if true) is the other argument, that the public bas suf fered no injury by:this act. Those public inter ests which lie outside of the defendants’ charter arc not committed to their keeping. The legis lature bas thought proper to guard the right of the people to the free use of their own roads, by enjoining tbe defendants not to impede or ob struct them. This injunction it was wrong to disregard, even for the sake of a supposed public benefit. The people have rejected the boon which the company tendered them, and the State parens patriae now demands for them the rights which are secured and reserved by her own laws. IV. The charge that the defendant* have, by cuutraet, surrendered the control uf their road to a foreign corporation, was but faintly pressed in the argument.. .We do not consider the con tract illegal, :u»d if our opinion were different we would witbold it until all the parties could be brought before us. This disposes of the principal allegations in the bill. But aside from these there are one or two matters suggested by ihe defendant’s coun-: sel, which ought not to be passed without a re mark. Tliey have argued that no decree could be Ra sed on obstructions created by the use of the rail road because the Act of Incorporation provide* only against the road'being so constructed as not Jo impede, &c. And the bill charges nothing else. Whatever impediments are caused by the ordinary and proper usb of a railroad we attrib ute to its construction if such impediments could have been avoided by a different construction. Tho legislature said to the corporators, you may make a railroad between certain given point* and use it when made, by running car* and steam engines on it; but you must so make it that its existence and use in this way will not impede the travelling on any highway now laid out. The railroad is so made that locomotives cannot be used on it, without impeding truvel on a pertain highway, previously laid out. Such a milruud is not constructed according to the law.. If it were, the use would be proper enough. The defendants’ counsel have made another point which it is right to notice. 1 1 is .-aid that though this proceeding is conducted in the nuuu of the State, its real object is to redress a suppo sed injury, which is private or at most merely local iu its character. We are urged to look not at. the Sag, but at the parties who tight under These parties—the public authorities of Erie; and the people of the neighborhood—encouraged the defendants to expend large sums of money in building the railroad, and the attempt which they arc now making to break it up, is denounced in the argument, os unactof wanton injustice. The ouly party before us, is the Commonwealth. We do not even know the names of the other persons alluded to. The Commonwealth complains in due form, by-her accredited legal representative, tho Attorney General, that one of her corporations has violated its charter. We have investigated the case and found the complaint to be true.— The delinquent corporation cannot justify itsel by showing that in the commission of the wrong it received aid and comfort from other persons. If the Mayor aud Councils of Erie or their con- stituents, connived at this breach of law, they were guilty of a sin, for which their best excuse is that they seem to have repented of it, and are now disposed to assist the State in bringing the other offenders to the same wholesome state of mind. It cannot be that the defendants were misled by the people or their officers, for they must have known that a city ordinance could not authorise what an Act of the Legislature forbade. No laches can legally be imputed to the Com monwealth, and m point of fact, she has been guilty of no unfairness. She spoke her will plainly in tbe Act of Incorporation, and gave it to the defendants to be a guide to their feet and a lamp to their path. Tbey disregard it. The Attorney General proves the fact, and stands up for judgment! We cannot , refuse what law and equity demand. This cause came on to be beard before tbo Su preme Court, on'tbe bill of complaint, on tbe an swer of the defendants, and on the proofs and ev idence taken by both parties, and was argued by counsel j and thereupon it-appears to this Court, that the defendants have built, and do now use and maintain a; certain railroad known as the Erie and North-East Railroad, of which said railroad a part is within tbe present limits of tho city of Erie, and upon certaiu streets thereof, and another part; is-upon the bed of a certain public road known os the Buffalo lioad in Harbor Qreek Township, Erie County; and that tho said railroad in those parts thereof, is a public and common nuisance. It is, therefore, Ordered , adjudged and decreed , that the defend ants shall, on or before the expiration of four months from this date, break up so much of their said road as lies upon the said streets, and upon the Buffalo road, and remove the materials tliere of, so as to leave the said streets and road in as good condittyn as tbey were in before the con struction of said railroad. is further declared and adjudged, that the said defendants are bound to make the bor ough of Erie with such limits as ft had in 1842 the western of their railroad. It is therefore, decreed and ordered, that the said de fendants shall, within four months from this date, change the route and construction of their rail road accordingly, and maku their Western tenni th< T ““ torn line of the said bor. ongh in 1843, or within the same borongh. And the said defendants shall re-construct their rail road to supply the parts hereby ordered to bo broken up, according to plans and specifications to be by them made, and to be submitted to, and’ approved by this Court, on full notice to the coun sel of the Commonwealth, and not otherwise And the defendant shall pay all lawfnl costa, to be taxed by the Prothonotaiy.

It is very plain, also that this company baa ..turned almost entirely aside from this purpose to one that was not at all intended, and, with the aid of-that fraudulent concern, the Franklin Canal Company’s road, they have carried out tbeir own main purpose of forming a connection between Ohio and New York, and have converted the intended and pro per terminus of their road into little better than a water station. And in the course of their proceedings, they have shown very little regard to the public au thorities ol the State. Contrary to law, and in violation of tbe express orders of tbe road com missioners, they took possession of a part of the Buffalo or Ridge road, and used it according to their own will. And much of tbe same disregard of tbe pnblic authorities has been exhibited in their relations with the public officers of tbe cits of Erie. Though a mere private corporation, and operating for the purposes of gain, they seem to have assumed that the regular local authorities must stand aside lor them, as if in the presence of their official superiors. I discover very little palliation for their errors, and should have been willing to allow them much less indulgence in tbe mode of retracing tbeir steps. I am sorry that my brethren think, that when an incorporated town or city is made tbe termi nus of railroad, the company has, by implication, a right to carry their road to any point within the town or city, and along any of its streets that they may choose, and this without being at all subject to the dircctiou or restraint.of the local authori ties. 1 should have been pleased to have the concurrence of my brethren in a contrary doc trine. It seems to me that this is giving to mere private corporations or associations a superiority thus far over those public functionaries to whom the interests of the public are intrusted, and this, too, by no necessary implication. It seems hard enough to have to make such an implication in relation to a town or city that lies between the termini. Let it be called illiberal to break the connec tion between this road and the western one. This is d matter not for us, hut for the Legislature to consider, aud perhaps they have dono so. It is not impossible that we may allow the cry of illib erality to drive us into a Quixotic aud impracti cable cosmopolitism. State pride, State enter prise, patriotism is selfishness; but it is tbe very form of selfishness that is at tho bottom of all na tional glory. I trust that it is not to bo frittered away by the mere American feeling, which is al ways tending to obliterate the local and more ef fective feelings out of which our present liberties grow, and upon which they depend.

We publish to-day the opinion lately delivered by Chief Justioe Olaok in the great Erie rail road case. It will be read with interest all over our State, and io other States interested In the Lake shore line of railroads. It will be seen by this opinion that the Erians were not so en tirely without excuse for their war upon the railroads last winter, as their calumniators at the east and west believed. That portion of the Company’s road which obstructed the streets of Erie was built without right or ebarter; and wasauuisanoo—a nuisance that must now be abated, unless the legislature interfere. The people of Erie will oorne out right yet. Judge Black's opinion will|be found, on peru sal, one of the most sound, olear aud able doon meuts ever presented to the publio. There is but one opinion throughout this commonwealth in regard to the admirable qualifications of the Chief Justioe for tho high position he occupies. His wriiinga exhibit a clearness of style thittbe mo9t unlearned oan understand ; a force of style that produces conviction; and an exactness in the use of words that will leave no room for doubt hereafter os to the law as he announces it. It would be a great loss to the State to lose the sorvicos of so sound a jurist and upright a man, upon the Supreme bench; and we presume tbe people of this commonwealth will take the same view of the matter. To pro teot individuals, and the masses of the people from the grasping spirit, the wealth and power of great corporations, is a duty that our present Supreme Court keeps constantly in viewq and well discharges.

Wouldn't it pay to bring it this way t Thb Humored Expedition Against Mexico. —The statement of the New York Post that General Alvarez ie in that city, fitting out an expedition against Mexico does not seem to ob tain much credence.

Gerrltt Smith has written a letter to Fred Douglass, advising him not to run for Congress, even though Ms crazy friends wish to place him there.
